CD-ROM presented by the Ohio Historical Society

A new CD-ROM by the Ohio Historical Society is the first of its kind to highlight the famous Hopewell Mound Group. Photos of artifacts will appeal to everyone, while contemporary and historical resources such as the hard-to-find Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley by E.G. Squier and E.H. Davis, make the disk useful for research. Yet for all its valuable material, the CD fails to cover present-day activities at Hopewell, including current research, the site’s protection as a Conservancy archaeological preserve, or that it will soon open to the public as part of the new Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. To order call (614) 297-2619.
